Here are some foodie gift ideas for Teacher Appreciation Week

It’s Teacher Appreciation Week, and if you’re looking for consumable gifts for the teachers in your life, consider gifting something from a C-U shop or restaurant.

Maybe treat your teachers to coffee from Art Mart or Cafe Kopi. If your teacher has a sweet tooth, grab a treat from Rick’s Bakery, something sweet from The New Sweet Indulgence, or a gluten-free dessert from RegCakes in the Lincoln Square Mall. If you know the teacher likes wine, buy a bottle from Ladro Enoteca, the new bottle shop in Downtown Champaign. For teachers who love to cook, peek into Grovestone for artisan olive oils, vinegar, spices, and more. A small gift card to somewhere you like to eat like Farren’s Pub, Neil St. Blues, or Jarling’s Custard Cup would make a nice gift, too.

Where do you like to find your teacher gifts? Let us know in the comments.
